Luxury is beyond borders and knows no limits. Burberry Prosum's Womenswear Autumn Winter 2011 Collection is taking chic to its peak. Loving the high style in amazing and elegant silhouettes as seen in seamless and remarkable oversized, sculptural and volumes of blanket, military and tunic coats, engineered cable knitted panel jackets, oversize cropped cape jackets, window cut-out dresses, covered zip front tunic dresses, sculptured boot cut trousers, fitted low volume boot cut trousers and flat front cropped trousers. Updated colors and patterns revealed a young and fresh style perspective complimented with an air of modern sophistication.Luxe detailing is having an all high attention with hand woven knit cables, multi gauge knitted tweeds, tonal buttons, lacquered woven leather buttons, luggage and engineered stitching, geometric seaming. One can't help notice the refinery seen in the use of contrast color leather trims, applied bindings and luggage duffle fastenings, sculptured quilted linings and the list goes on and on. Fabrication is set with a high standard of quality using the finest materials perfect for the cold weather. Completing the collection were accessories as seen in chic bowling, cross-body bags and clutches in quilts, alligator, and shiny leather that complement the entire look of the brand this season.
